Acknowledgments

Author
Born in San Diego, Pamela Barrus is an unapologetic vagabond, having traveled solo through some 200 countries. She is the author of Dream Sleeps: Castle and Palace Hotels of Europe and has contributed to a number of national magazines. She still finds San Diego one of the best places in the world to come home to and enjoy the sunshine.

The author would like to thank Mary Barrus and Roger Devenyns for sharing their exceptional knowledge and insight of San Diego with her.
